How do I choose a specific reticle amongst the 3 available?

I believe the only way you can do it is to educate yourself via the Internet. First define the type of shooting you will do. Are you just shooting paper targets or will you be hunting etc? Then do your research. I prefer the mil dot reticle. The mil dot allows you to judge range, bullet drop, lead etc. Whatever you choose the scope will come with instructions as to how to use the scope and the reticle specifically.

the mil dot is your best choice....you have cross hairs for basic set it at 100yds and shoot all day at the range if later you decide to to be more advanced you have the mil dot sysrtem which has many/all the benefits of professional hunter sniper could want.

It depends on your personal preference. A mildot reticle can be used to accurately estimate range, to calculate the size of objects at known ranges, and to give you precise aiming points at different ranges with different ammunition types. There is a steeper learning curve with the mildot reticle than with the BDC reticle. The BDC reticle allows you to quickly select a point of aim at various ranges, but isn't as versatile as the mildot reticle. The Nikoplex reticle is a cleaner duplex crosshair reticle for folks who don't need or want the above features.

In the listing I believe you have an option to choose which "size" you want. But really the different "sizes" are the different reticles. When you select a size option you should see the choice show up with the type reticle described next to it. It threw me off when I was purchasing also. I think this is what you are asking?

I prefer a clean view and a lighted reticle(for low light shooting). Preference is highly subjective. However, I believe the most important things to know are: ballistics of your ammo and, range to your target.

To adjust the red dot you can use a penny or a flathead screw driver. It's an awesome sight. Def lives up to it's name.

I would make sure the description is for the bdc reticle. You'll really like this scope!

This scope will have the EBR-1 reticle. If you follow the link below you can view a decent picture of the reticle choice: http://www.eurooptic.com/vortex-viper-pst-4-16x50-ffp-rifle-scope-ebr-1-moa-pst-416f1-a.aspx

It's a 4 plex reticle. No mil dot, no hash marks of any kinds. Looks like 4 arrows pointing towards dead center. The glass is flawless, the light absorption is awesome, the turrets are great. Being that Redfield was bought out by Leupold it is made by their standards but not with their price. The Objective Diameter is pretty big. I had to buy Ultra High rings to mount to my AR. I'm pretty pleased with the scope. I would like a mil dot reticle but for the price it's pretty solid. Anything else I can help you with?

Looks like the Nikoplex to me. I have the M-308 with the BDC and I would hold out for that, especially since they're selling it to you full price. The undiscounted price is greatly inflated over retail. Not a bargain unless you get what you want. BTW, this is an awesome scope, and the BDC is a great tool when teamed with the Spot-On software. Good luck!

There are 3 boxes under the price and shipping info. Each box that looks like this product is a different reticle type. Also different price.

The FFP optic will allow you to use mil or moa reticle to range and adjust zero. If you get SFP, your reticle will not magnify throughout it's zoom therefore your mildot, milscale, moa reticle has little more value than a standard duplex reticle. If you can afford it, get the FFP. Even if you are not into ranging or dialing in scope for specific shots at distance using turrets (vs Kentucky windage)...you will still have this option. The only thing you lose with the FFP is money, but you gain capability.

Amazon offers both scopes. Mine is the mil-dot. It has an adjustable brightness illuminated green and red reticle. I like the quick release on it. Worth the money.

Start with lower magnification eyepiece(20mm). During the day practice on focusing on large objects. It's also the way to align the red dot finder. I bought this scope for my grandson . He loves it

The Acog is great, but there are the same type "calibrated" per weapon platform. Best advice is check Trijicon main site to verify the scope fits your platform needs.

They are standard, you can choose crosshairs with dot in middle, eotech style, plain dot, or circle and crosshairs. If you have an astigmatism they may be blurry, like they are to me, but still no problems here. If you need the moa of the sights, the sightmark website states them. I used the crosshairs with dot in middle and it's easily accurate to 100+ yards

There are four reticles to choose and none of them are the "zombies" or biohazard symbol like on the EOTech. There are the following reticles: 1.) Single dot 2.) Crosshairs 3.) Circle with crosshairs 4.) Circle with single dot

i have the same question. i understand the difference between FFP and SFP and im sure the OP does too. but in the item's description, it says "Options of First Focal Plane or Second Focal Plane Reticle". what the hell does that mean?? you can switch the reticle back and forth between the first and second planes? there are no options to choose which model when you add it to your cart. so which one do you end up with? can someone answer that without trying to educate us on the difference between FFP and SFP?

My Sweet 17 does not have a mil-dot reticle. It has the standard cross-hairs that appear thick, then abruptly change to thin in the center. I like it.
